Thailand set to join 2015 calendar

The 2012 ROC event was held in Bangkok which always has F1 drivers contesting the event, and this year Romain Gorsjean won. Now it appears that Thailand may host a grand prix in2015 instead of the target date of 2014.

Dec.21 (GMM) Thailand looks set to join the F1 calendar in 2015.

It was believed the capital Bangkok was targeting its inaugural Grand Prix in 2014.

But F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone has been quoted in the Wall Street Journal as saying the first Thai street race, staged under floodlights, will be in 2015.
